Video game movies may not often be very good, but that hasn’t stopped Hollywood from releasing new ones on a fairly consistent basis. One of the upcoming video game movies that will hope to buck the trend of poor video game film adaptations is theBorderlandsmovie, which is in development at Lionsgate. Whether or not that movie ever comes actually materializes remains to be seen, but that hasn’t stoppedBorderlands 3fans on Reddit from casting characters for the film.
Inspired by an initial post that suggested Ryan Reynolds should play Rhys in theBorderlandsmovie, another Reddit user has put together their casting picks. They’ve selected Karen Gillan for the role of Lilith, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for the role of Brick, Margot Robbie asTiny Tina, Johnny Depp as Mordecai, Olivia Munn as Maya, and Kate Upton as Mad Moxxi.

OtherBorderlands 3fans threw in their opinions on the casting as well, with some thinking that Dave Bautista should play Brick instead of The Rock. Glenn Howerton fromIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, aka Dennis Reynolds, was also a common suggestion for the villainous Handsome Jack in a theoreticalBorderlandsmovie.
While no casting news has been announced regarding theBorderlandsmovie, it should be noted that Gearbox Software has voiced its own opinion about some possible casting choices. More specifically, Gearbox Software creative director Paul Sage has suggested thatThe Rock should play Claptrapin a potentialBorderlandsfilm adaptation, which would be an amusing casting choice to say the least.
TheBorderlandsfilm has been in various stages of development since 2015. It was then that Lionsgate announced it was producing theBorderlandsmovie as a tentpole film with Avi and Ari Arad, with a script is being penned by Aaron Berg. TheBorderlandsmovie is aiming for an R rating, but no other details have been revealed since its announcement.
As of the time of this writing, theBorderlandsmoviedoesn’t have a director attached to it, let alone any roles cast, so it remains to be seen when it will come out. It will be interesting to see if any of the roles cast for theBorderlandsmovie line up with fan suggestions.
Borderlands 3is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with a Stadia version also in development.
